For the Long Haul - Simon Says Stamp

Good morning! There have been so many exciting new releases from Simon Says Stamp lately that it feels hard to keep up with all the little projects I've made here and there! Today I'm sharing a card using some of the items from the Love You More Release!

This card started off with one of the darling Suzy's Watercolor Prints from the Lots of Love set - I just thought this image was so sweet, and had fun coloring it up with my Daniel Smith watercolors.

Once it dried, I added some details with a white gel pen on various places on the image.

I added a heat embossed sentiment from CZ Designs I Still Do stamp set, popped up on foam adhesive.

Finally, I slightly trimmed down the panel, and mounted it on a top folding cardbase made with Sea Glass Cardstock. It had the perfect soft color to coordinate with the soft watercolors!

Ink Blended Swan Card - Pretty Pink Posh Birthday Blog Hop

Good morning! So excited this morning to be hopping for Day 2 of the blog hop to celebrate the Pretty Pink Posh's 6th Birthday, AND the AMAZING NEW Birthday Release from Pretty Pink Posh - so many wonderful love and birthday theme stamps, dies, and stencils!!! Keep reading for more info, details on my card I'm sharing today, AND of course, some giveaway info at the bottom as well!

Today I'm sharing this little fun size note card with no coloring needed - and I also filmed a video for it! You can watch it here below, OR on my YouTube channel HERE!

Here is the video sharing how I created this card:

This card is 4 1/4 x 4 1/4 - so the front white panel is 4 x 4. I started off by using the adorable new Love Background Stencil and a combination of Spun Sugar and Worn Lipstick distress oxide inks to create the background.

I heat embossed the swans from Pond Friends in clear embossing ink, blended Pumice Stone and Hickory Smoke ink over them, then die cut with the Coordinating Dies. The wreath is from the new Large Floral Heart stamp set, heat embossed in white, then with Mowed Lawn distress ink blended over the top before cutting out with the Coordinating Dies.

Heat embossed the sentiment on a strip of black cardstock, then layered everything on the card, using foam adhesive for dimension.

Finished off with a few sparkly Buttercream jewels sprinkled around, because who can resist a bit of bling?!?!?

Love You So Very Much - Simon Says Stamp February Card Kit

Good evening! I'm stopping by to share my first card created with the BRAND NEW February Simon Says Stamp Card Kit - Window Frames! This kit is SOOO wintry and fun - the included large stamp set by the same name is so unique, the Tri Square die is super fun, the pattern paper is GORGEOUS, the sweet litttle Sweetheart shaker elements are darling - not to mention the Cardstock, Envelopes, and more!

The past couple months I decided to try filming a video for my cards using the monthly card kits - I have had such a great response so far that I will continue as time allows. I've posted the video for this card on my YouTube channel HERE, and also below so you can watch either place you prefer. :)

Here is the video sharing how I put this card together using this month's kit:

The video really shows the process for how this card came together the best - but I did some paper piecing of the main stamped image to allow me to Copic color to coordinate with my pattern paper and fit over the window.

The sentiments were done 3 times to match with the 3 sweet shaker windows - with a bit of heat embossing for good measure!

Here is a closer look at the entire kit contents - you can find all the details HERE:

Aren't these little shaker elements super fun?!?!?!?
